Fishing

I don't know why, but I love fishing. Maybe its the boat, maybe it's being out on the water, or driving the boat. Or maybe I really like fishing (though, then again, maybe not). I think I just like being out there, on the boat. It's fun. We don't have to catch any fish, and I still like it. The whole day, I wait for fishing. And it's a bummer if it's raining or cold out. Although...I've gone in the rain and don't mind it at all. Plus, everytime I have all this stuff I have to wear, my jacket, my hat, my life vest, my boots....and I still don't mind. That's how much I like fishing.

The other day, we were down on the beach playing in the water (there was some sun and clear skies - you know it's been raining almost every day here!). I saw this fisherman across the bay and yelled, "HeLLOOOOOOOO? Did you catch any fish?" The guy said yes. Then later, he came right over to us on his boat and showed us some really big salmon. His boat was covered in green seaweed and he was wearing a special waterproof suit. When he went back to his nets to check, he held up the fishies that he caught to show us. It was pretty cool. Later, after an unsuccessful fishing trip with Gung Gung and Paw Paw, he came over to our boat and gave us a small salmon. It made for a yummy dinner.

I hope I get to go fishing today, but the skies are getting grey and dark, and the winds are blowing. Luckily, this morning, it was warm and clear and the tides were low, so we went to dig for clams. We got so many clams we could hardly carry them all. Okay, so I didn't really do any digging, but I sure did a lot of splashing! Check out our pictures from this morning. So fun. Really.
